Frank Darabont's Defense of Abusive 'Walking Dead' Emails: "Stress" and "Extraordinary Crisis"
12 July 2017 11:46 AM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter - TV News | See recent The Hollywood Reporter - TV News news »
Warning: This story contains explicit language.
The history of Hollywood is littered with legendary freak-outs — think David O. Russell's berating of Lily Tomlin on the set of 2004's I Heart Huckabees, or Christian Bale's Terminator Salvation tantrum in 2009. Now joining that ignominious list is Frank Darabont, whose spectacularly abusive emails to AMC executives and crew during the fraught production of the first season of The Walking Dead have surfaced amid his $280 million lawsuit against the network.
Darabont, who co-created the blockbuster cable hit, was fired as showrunner from the series early in its second season. He and his CAA team »

21 hours ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
“Jessica Jones” Season 2 has cast Leah Gibson as a series regular, Variety has learned from sources.
Gibson will play Ingrid, who is described as street-wise but who also has an education as a nurse. After the description of the character was originally leaked back in April, fans began speculating that Ingrid was a codename for Marvel Comics character Typhoid Mary, an enemy of Daredevil who suffers from dissociative identity disorder. She has three distinct personalities, with “Bloody Mary” and “Typhoid Mary” being the more violent personalities. She also has a range of psionic powers, like telekinesis and pyrokinesis.
Netflix declined to comment.
Gibson appeared in 2010’s “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” as the vampire Nettie. She has also appeared in the films “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” and “Watchmen.” On the television side, she recently appeared in the Hulu drama “Shut Eye,” The CW’s “The 100,” the A&E series “The Returned,” and »

In the wake of Chicago Justice‘s cancellation, the actor will return to the police drama as a series regular for Season 5, TVLine has learned.
Seda departed P.D. in the middle of Season 4 to join the legal offshoot, where his detective character Antonio Dawson transitioned into working as an investigator in the district attorney’s office. But the move was short-lived: Justice was axed in late May.

Former “Bachelor in Paradise” contestant Corinne Olympios announced Wednesday that she will appear on the ABC reality dating show’s reunion special later this summer.
“I am very happy to be appearing on the Bachelor In Paradise Special,” Olympios said in a statement.

Emmy Miracles Can Happen
1 hour ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Great acting conjures worlds. We are living in a golden age of magical special effects, on large and small screens. But smart writers know that the skills of the very best actors can transport and move viewers like nothing else.
An actor locked into a career-making performance can simply tell a story, and even if we can’t necessarily see what they’re describing, we are right there with them — imagining, remembering, under their spells. Carrie Coon and Aisha Hinds were in very different shows this year, but they both provided more than ample proof of this very point. Emmy voters would do well to remember Coon’s brilliant performance as a lead actress in HBO’s “The Leftovers,” and in the guest actress in a drama category, Aisha Hinds’ name should appear for her transfixing performance as Harriet Tubman in “Underground.”
Both of these potential nominations might be seen as the longest of long shots. But »

How TV Tuned In More Ad Dollars: Digital Doubts, Drugs and Desperation
1 hour ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Advertisers are rushing back to TV because they don’t think they have anywhere else to go.
The nation’s five English-language broadcast networks trumped lowered expectations and eked out an approximate 4% gain in the volume of advance advertising commitments they secured for their next cycle of primetime programming, according to Variety estimates, part of the annual haggling of TV’s “upfront” marketplace. The networks secured between $8.78 billion and $9.62 billion, compared with between $8.41 billion and $9.25 billion in 2016 – possibly marking the most they’ve gleaned since six broadcast networks – the WB and Upn were still around, in place of CW – secured around $9.5 billion in 2004.
Some portion of that money could represent the Madison Avenue equivalent of stealing from Peter to pay Paul.
Ad buyers and network executives suggested some the influx of new dollars came as the result of big advertisers moving money normally earmarked for so-called “scatter” advertising – or commercial inventory purchased much closer to air date »
